What the hell, Ill throw my say in. The M14 gets a rep for being heavy. If you don't mind the weight, and its low cap mags, its a great DMR. As for which models, I have either the CYMA or UTG model, (i bought it from its one and only previous owner, told me it was Echo1 but didn't have the proper engraving.) and its fine enough for what I paid for. The barrel, batteries and gearbox are upgraded giving it a FPS of 350-370. Feeding from Midcap mags is iffy, but feeds solid from Highcap mags. The stock feels flimsy, probably an attempt to make it lighter, but it won't crush or crack on you out in the field. I am upgrading from my AEG to the WE Tech GBBR, as I hear good things about WE Tech and their rifles, and I love the higher FPS, solid weight of the replica, and the feeling of a metal bolt clacking. It was a little spendy, though on sale.
Best advice if you do go out and get one, get a sling.
Mighty fine shindig.
